Driving Grandpa by John Redstand
“Humorous, Poignant, and Wonderful”
Available
in Paperback and eBook here!
What do you get when you combine a hard-nosed
WWII vet, a crazy stray dog, a pickup, and a string of foreclosed houses? The
answer is a story that will playfully slam your nose against the proverbial
passenger-side window at every unexpected turn. In this fictionalized memoir,
author John Redstand takes readers on a rollicking tour of the last few months
of his grandfather’s life. It’s an adventure you don’t want to miss.
A contract worker hired to clean out abandoned properties during the housing market crash of 2008, the narrator happily adopts double duty as chauffeur for Grandpa, who (despite his ornery protestations) is not allowed to drive anymore. These two simple tasks collide in a perfect storm of one humorous calamity after another.
Woven between the daily adventures of cleaning up supposedly vacant foreclosures, attempting to renew Grandpa’s license, and pursuing a decades gone by female counterpart, are Grandpa’s amusing and often absurd stories of World War II. An airplane mechanic stationed in Australia and the Pacific during the war, Grandpa fills their commutes with tales of stranded submarines, earthquake bombs, run-ins with Australian wildlife, and a disagreeable commanding officer.
Behind the story’s humor breathes a warm and touching ode to family, patriotism, and the Greatest Generation. Not so much of an elegy as an attempt to see the world through Grandpa’s peculiar and remarkable eyes, Driving Grandpa offers an amusing and endearing slice of life that is sure to bring a smile.

by D.
Baugh Roy
A
murder in New Orleans leads Mississippi prosecutor, Leigh Reid, into an
international chase. She becomes entangled in an global search for a coded disc
which was unknowingly slipped to her by a trusted colleague before he faked his
own death and started running for his life. The disc was evidence from the
murder and Leigh is saddled with the burden of either turning it over to the
FBI or trying to decode it herself, even while believing she's being followed
by someone. Having already discovered widespread corruption in her prosecution
office, she opts to take a research job in St. Augustine, Scotland. Here she
meets a student whose father wants to offer Leigh a consulting job to
investigate a 200-year old family murder. Even though she is cognizant that
someone has continued to follow her movements since relocating to Scotland, she
decides to take the job and stay a few steps ahead of whoever is chasing her for
the disc. Leigh unexpectedly finds herself attracted to the father of the
student, who also holds the title of Duke of Dalroch. Fighting her feelings for
him, she finds herself in a weak and vulnerable point. Suddenly, she is drugged
and kidnapped by the mercenary leader who has been tracking down the disc for
his employer.
The
twists and turns resulting from the tackling of the two murders, one in the
past and one in the present, puts Leigh's own life in jeopardy. Not only does
she need all her strength to fight for her life, but she needs to keep her
emotions at bay so she can keep anyone else from being in danger.

Prohorse.DK Quality for Horse and Rider
 |
| Josie |
Dressage is a
highly skilled form of riding, and those who take part in it deserve to have
the best equipment to aid in their training and their presentation in the
dressage arena.
If
you intend to compete internationally you probably already know that the
equipment that is permitted can vary a little from country to country, so it is
wise to check out these rules before you purchase yours. A good place to start
your shopping is at Prohorse.dk.
The
vast array of stylish clothes that are available for dressage riders nowadays
is amazing. Wearing clothes that are both comfortable and stylish boosts
every rider's confidence, and let's face it a confident rider creates
confidence in their horse. A well turned out horse and rider are a joy to watch
and they are much more likely to catch the judge's eye.
Boots,
bits,bridles and saddles,competition wear and even hair accessories all
contribute towards the elegance which sets dressage apart from any other sport
(or perhaps it is better described as an art).
The
right equipment also helps from the safety aspect as well. A well fitting
saddle and bridle allow the horse to concentrate on his gait rather than the
discomfort caused by his tack or other equipment. So be sure to buy your
horse's dressage equipment from a company that actually understand your horse's
requirements as well as your own.
Maybe
you have been trying to find equipment for your dressage horse in a local tack
shop and discovered that they don’t have the specialist equipment or the amount
of choice that you would like. Perhaps you are just too busy with your “horsey
stuff” to be bothered to shop around or try to mix and match and you are
wishing that you could just find it all in one shop or even better on one website.
Everyone
wants the very best equipment for their special horse, but sometimes it is not
that easy to budget for dressage equipment as well as all the other costs
involved in training your horse. The good news is that there is a solution to
that problem and it’s here in the very next paragraph.
ProHorse
Webshop provides quality products at affordable prices as well as
expert advice on all types of dressage equipment. It's good to know that
support is only a click away. At the webhop they are happy to share their
knowledge so that you and your horse have the equipment that will help you both
to shine in the wonderful world of dressage.
Quality Horse and Rider
ProHorse.dk
is a shop where the quality of the horse and rider has the highest priority.We
grow even equestrian, so we know what is important for you as a rider, and what
is important for your horse thrives and performs optimally. We also know
how annoying it is if the equipment you need in everyday life, is not working. We
know at the same time the joy and the pleasure of having some good quality
equipment in a sleek design for the daily work with the horse and rallies.
It
also means that Prohorse.dk not go after the riding equipment business, with
most products. We focus instead on the products we sell, have a high
quality. Therefore, we have also carefully selected the manufacturers and
suppliers that we work with from high quality parameters. We sell quite
simply not products that we will not use our own horses or ourselves

Levant Fever: True stories from Syria's underground by Wajdy Mustafa
True stories from
Syria's underground
“An incredible and touching
read…”
Available in paperback and eBook here
True
stories from Syria's underground
Levant Fever is a memoir of the
Syria underground seen through the eyes of a boy growing into a man, in the
middle of feverish historic events, not widely understood and told before in
the West, but at the roots of the current
conflict headlines.
Levant Fever is an essential and
fascinating read for anyone wishing to understand the current Middle Eastern
politico culture. The narrative grips the reader with its honesty, brutality
and beauty. The author describes the
historical context of present day Syria and Lebanon through the oral history
and legends of the Levant, his own reflections and life stories told to him
whilst he was held without trial for many years, as a political prisoner.
The
narrative grips the reader with its honesty, brutality and beauty. The author describes his own journey,
reflections and life stories told to him whilst he was held without trial for
14 years, as a political prisoner in several prisons including Palmyra, dubbed
by Amnesty International as the most oppressive prison in the world.
The
work is an enthralling and informative, neutrally recorded mosaic reflecting
the colors, sects, religions, politics, prejudices and geography of the
region. The journey spans the areas
deserts, coastline, mountains and forests. It speaks of family, friendship,
love, hope, fear, torture, hiding and escaping.
A truly human tale of a life well lived, a life of conscience, courage
and endurance and ultimately one of triumph of the human spirit.
Biography
Wajdy Mustafa was born in Tartous,
Syria in 1960. A long time campaigning
writer for social, democratic and human rights in Syria, he was imprisoned
without trial for 14 years. Despite torture
and solitary confinement, Wajdy continued to find ways to express and campaign
for his belief in truth and justice. He
has written and published political texts worked as a journalist; written two
published books and several screenplays and TV series. In 2009 he was forced to
seek Political Asylum in Austria, before relocating to the US in 2011. He was
for a few years involved with the Syrian National Council coalition. He
currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area, California.

Garden of Time by Sharon Ricklin Jones
A time travel romance
“The inspiration
for Garden of Time began with a beautiful painting…”
A
time travel romance
Emma
Lee Parkinson’s life appears to be perfect. She’s young and beautiful and lives
in an elegant high-rise condominium with her rich, handsome husband. Her closet
is full of designer clothes, shoes, and purses. Dining at elegant restaurants,
attending cocktail parties or upscale gala events are typical nights out on the
town for her. Luxurious vacations are taken at least twice a year. This life of
leisure allows Emma to pursue personal interests as well. She loves shopping
for antiques, strolling through art galleries, museums, and furthering her own
artistic skills with painting classes. Who could ask for more? But appearances
can be deceiving. Emma hates her life. With a passion.
Intimidated by a deep,
dark secret, she lives in a constant state of dread. Battered, abused, and even
threatened with death, she’s often on the edge of panic. Paralyzed by fear,
she’s certain there’s no way out. Until the day she attempts to hang her latest
find – a painting so enchanting that she buys it on a whim. Little does she
know… this painting will change her life forever.
Biography
Sharon is a member of Romance
Writers of America (RWA), Wisconsin Romance Writers (WisRa), the author of two
blogs, and somewhat addicted to social networking.
She wrote her first contemporary romance novel* while still homeschooling her youngest son who graduated in 2003. After several long distance moves and eventually becoming an empty-nester, it was finally time to get busy editing that book. That was about five years ago.
All was going well - until she had the most vivid dream she'd ever had in her life. This dream inspired the birth of her vampire series, and Sharon started writing in a new genre: Paranormal Romance. Or as she likes to call it - Romance with a Twist. The Ravenswynd Series was published in 2013
That same year Sharon’s first time-travel romance, River of Time, was published. River of Time is a recommended read on USA TODAY'S Happy Ever After blog!
That *contemporary romance novel, Song of Memory, that began so long ago, was finally published in February 2015!
Sharon is living in a small town in central Wisconsin, and currently working on another time-travel romance novel.
